September Quilt Guild

Next Month we are looking forward to having Julie Saville come to our meeting and do a trunk show. Be sure to mark your calendars and bring a friend. For November come early at 6:00 and learn from Holly N. how to make the little bag to hold credit cards/ punch card etc. you will need 2-10 inch squares of fabric and 20 inches of rick rack.

This year at Snow Goose we will be doing demonstrations instead of classes. If you would like to do a demonstration let us know. Times will be from 10-11 and from 2-3.

We were very lucky this month to have Barbra Walsh come and share with us some ideas on organizing your sewing space. She had a great slide show with many different organizational ideas. She also shared with us some of her own quilts here are some of her amazing works of art!
